What to do???

Having a melt down as to what to do with reception 2...

I LOVE this rug below from the rug company...BUT- I'm unsure wether to fill the room with it and have just a litte white border of white painted floorboards around the perimeter / or have a small rug sitting on the floor just in front of the sofa?

As the rug is contemporary in its design...the sofa modern and the ceiling lights retro... 

I need to add an other dimension / antique to prevent this room from looking to DONE and over thought about!

LOVE this Flemish cupboard - which Jonathan hates!!!

That would be the basic's DONE...just need to accessorise with some personality!!!
